Product Facts
■ Designed to accommodate
wire gauges 8 AWG through
4/0 AWG
■ The first large wire termi-
nal to feature vinyl insula-
tion bonded to the terminal
sleeve
■ Terminals for wire sizes
8 AWG through 4/0 AWG
meet the requirements
of MIL-T-7928, Type II,
Class 2
■ Precision-engineered ter-
minal offering the heavy-
duty wire user uniformly
high quality connections
with permanent insulation
support and protection
against flash over
■ Applied in a single effort-
less operation with the
AMP DYNA-CRIMP tool
Why Bonding?
■ Terminal insulators need to
withstand intense crimping
pressures necessary for
t o d a y ’s high wire-to-terminal
contact requirements
■ Bonded insulation transmits
this pressure evenly to the
center of the crimp area
■ A positive bond allows for
uniform insulation thick-
ness, maintains proper
dielectric and tensile val-
ues and controls the extru-
sion of plastic under the
crimping dies in the fin-
ished connection
The Crimp
■ Because both wire and ter-
minal are confined over a
greater area during the
crimp, a homogeneous
mass is achieved
■ Crimp is applied gradually
to encourage full move-
ment of the wire with mini-
mum extrusion
■ Compare this AMP method
of applying pre-insulated
solderless terminals to
large gauge wires with the
cumbersome mechanical
fitting, brazing and manual
insulating techniques still
used in many plants

Basic Terminal Material. The
basic terminal is constructed of fine
grade high conductivity copper per
ASTM B-152 and tin-plated per
ASTM B-545. AMP’s special plating
process creates durable corrosion
resistance to salt spray and most
chemical fumes.
Inner Bonding Sleeve.
Insulation is bonded to this
(ASTM B-152) copper sleeve…
the primary property of superior
AMPLI-BOND terminal construction.
Fully Protected Rear
Insulation Support Ring.
Separate metal ring provides
insulation support to dampen
vibration and prevent sharp bends
on conductor. Steel (ASTM A-109,
Tin plated per ASTM B-545).
Insulation Proofmarked and
Color Coded. Color coding of
terminals provides rapid indentifica-
tion, for selection of proper termi-
nal. For additional quality
control, crimping die embosses
wire size number on insulation.
Vinyl insulation extends minimum
distance beyond terminal barrel to
prevent exposure of conductor
during stress and vibration.
AMPLI-BOND Terminals meet or exceed the requirements of MIL-T-7928, Type II,Class 2.
Refer to AMP Qualified Products for Military Application, Catalog 73-159 for Military Specification Number to
AMP Part Number cross reference.
Barrel with Brazed Seam,
Dimpled Inner Surface. Each
AMPLI-BOND terminal body is
individually brazed for ruggedness
and deformation control during the
crimping operation. Dimpling on
inner barrel surface provides more
contact area of wire to terminal
and additional tensile strength.
Temperature Rating: 105°C Max.
